Iranian Airports Register 183% Growth in Global Air Traffic

A total of 3,400 international flights were operated to/from Iranian airports during the first two months of the current Iranian year (started March 21), registering a 183% rise compared with last year’s corresponding period, according to the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.
The number of takeoffs and landings stood at 48,000 for domestic flights during the same period, indicating a 1% year-on-year rise. 
The significant rise in the number of passengers on domestic routes followed the lifting of restrictions related to Covid-19, as airlines were required to enforce social distancing during flights at the time of the pandemic.
The ministry put the number of passengers on domestic flights at 5,376,000 and on international flights at 411,000 during the period, saying the numbers show a 51% and 378% year-on-year rise respectively.
